Flavor: “The mango comes through well, but the hops are understated so that at first, it expresses itself as more of a mango American wheat. At the end of the swallow, a low bitterness lingers briefly, bringing forth the IPA character. Moderate sweetness, with supporting malt, if a little thin, and dry overall.”

Overall: “This beer doesn’t know what it wants to be: wheat, pale ale, or IPA. The flavors are muddled, with the mango coming through as peach and indistinct fruits. Without knowing it’s a mango IPA, I wouldn’t have guessed. The hops bitterness was right and the malt supported it nicely—it was balanced and pleasant.”
